The .mo files, the binaries, are the result of compiling the .po files. So, you should better work on the original .po files [1] The reason behind the .mo files is speed: binaries are much faster to parse when running the application.
Translation, as well as other parts of the development, is much easier on a Linux desktop. There, you could use 'kbabel' or sth similar that does all the work for you.
You could also take a look at the info page of 'gettext', in the GNU documentation. It is rather lengthy (GNU's have that), but -trust me- there is good reason behind all this complexity.

[1] You could reverse-compile the mo ones to get the po's. But that is not recommended.
